  • GERMANIUM/SILICON AVALANCHE PHOTODETECTOR WITH SEPARATE ABSORPTION AND MULTIPLICATION REGIONS
    Publication number: 20140367740
    Abstract: A semiconductor waveguide based optical receiver is disclosed. An apparatus according to aspects of the present invention includes an absorption region including a first type of semiconductor region proximate to a second type of semiconductor region. The first type of semiconductor is to absorb light in a first range of wavelengths and the second type of semiconductor to absorb light in a second range of wavelengths. A multiplication region is defined proximate to and separate from the absorption region. The multiplication region includes an intrinsic semiconductor region in which there is an electric field to multiply the electrons created in the absorption region.
